Shipping & Returns

Return Policy

We offer Satisfaction Guarantee on most items, but there are exceptions. Please read below for specific details.

New Gear:

If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item. Please note that some items are not eligible for return (See exclusions below). Returned items must be in original, brand-new condition, showing no signs of wear or use. Items must also include all original packaging, manuals, warranties and accessories or your return may be subject to a return handling charge. Any damage or evidence of use may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 25%. We reserve the right to refuse any return if we determine the item has been misused. Your refund will be processed after the evaluation of your returned item. Refunds are made for product value only, excluding shipping and handling charges. If you received Free Shipping on your order, the value of the uncharged shipping cost will be deducted from your refund. If we shipped you the wrong product, or the product was defective, we will do everything we can to make it right at no additional cost to you.

Used/Vintage Gear:

We strive to accurately describe each item and will highlight any irregularities and/or defects making them known to you before you buy. Feel free to call Cassell's Music with any questions you have regarding the item in which you are interested. Please check the item description for clarification if that item is eligible for returns.
